Many of our previous blogs have discussed the challenges present in the transition toward remote work. One pain point experienced by our clients over the past few years was knowing how to recognize employees that were no longer in an office. In our blog “Recognizing Employees in the Workplace VS.

Roy believes there is a difference in how you recognize employees in-person vs. remotely, but the principles of recognition are the same.

HR leaders have taken center stage from the onset of the pandemic, helping their organizations navigate unprecedented challenges and risks. The role of HR has not only expanded; a greater focus on the importance of talent has created the need for new approaches and programs for engaging, motivating and incentivizing employees.

In our last conversation session, I had a chance to speak with Darren Findley, president of recruitment solutions, to discuss the latest updates of the labor market.
